Real Hyaluronic Blue 100 Ampoule

A gold-standard humectant that draws water into the skin.

Pro-vitamin B5 that soothes and hydrates.

An extract from the root of Dioscorea japonica (Japanese wild yam), used in cosmetics for its skin-conditioning and soothing properties.

The salt form of hyaluronic acid; penetrates more readily.

A glucosylated trehalose produced enzymatically from hydrolyzed starch, used as a humectant, film-former, and emulsion stabilizer in moisturizing formulas.

A mixture of polyols (sorbitol, maltitol, and longer-chain sugar alcohols) obtained by hydrogenation of starch hydrolysate, used as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent.

An AHA most often used in small amounts to adjust pH.

A naturally occurring trisaccharide (glucose + galactose + fructose) found in plants such as sugar beets, used in cosmetics as a humectant and prebiotic to hydrate skin and support a balanced microbiome.

A nucleoside used at low concentrations to help smooth the look of fine lines; a common K-beauty anti-aging active.

A plant-derived carbohydrate complex that binds to skin for long-lasting, anchored hydration.

A copper-rich mineral extract derived from malachite that enhances the skin's cellular antioxidant defences, particularly superoxide dismutase, to protect against oxidative stress.

A naturally occurring amino acid that acts as a humectant and supports the skin's own moisture-retention system.

The sodium salt of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), typically sourced from salmon milt (sperm). Highly hydrophilic — attracts and retains moisture. Also promotes skin cell repair mechanisms. Used in Lululun's Hydra PD mask.

An extract from the rhizome of Alpinia galanga (greater galangal), a plant in the Zingiberaceae (ginger) family native to Southeast Asia. Rich in diarylheptanoids such as galangin and 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate, along with phenylpropanoids and flavonoids. Used in Korean and Southeast Asian traditional medicine; adopted in K-beauty for its dual antioxidant and anti-inflammatory profile. A different species from Alpinia Katsumadai (seeds) and Alpinia Speciosa (shell ginger).

A polysaccharide that binds to skin to provide lasting hydration and a soothing film.

The synthetic, stable form of vitamin B12, used in cosmetics for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties; studies suggest topical B12 can reduce eczema symptoms and support skin barrier recovery.

Vitamin E; a lipid-soluble antioxidant that also conditions skin.

A humectant that can hold many times its weight in water.

Enzymatically hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate with very low molecular weight for deeper skin penetration and enhanced hydration.

The simplest amino acid, used as a humectant that supports the skin's natural moisturizing factor.

A naturally occurring amino acid that functions as a humectant and is a component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor.

A semi-essential amino acid naturally present in the skin's NMF that acts as a humectant and antioxidant to hydrate and protect skin.

Extract from the seeds of Glycine soja (soybean), distinct from soy oil or protein. Contains saponins, isoflavones, and polyphenolic antioxidants.

A dihydrochalcone polyphenol (aglycone of phloridzin) extracted from apple (Malus domestica) bark, roots, and leaves. Neutralizes free radicals via hydrogen-atom transfer and single-electron transfer mechanisms; inhibits tyrosinase (mixed-type, IC50 169 µM) to reduce melanin precursors for brightening; and suppresses NF-κB via direct TLR2 binding for anti-inflammatory benefit. Clinically studied at 2% in combination with L-ascorbic acid and ferulic acid — this triple combination significantly reduced UV-induced markers (MMP-9, thymine dimers, p53) in a peer-reviewed trial (Oresajo et al. 2008). The active ingredient in SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF.

A crosslinked form of sodium hyaluronate that creates a hydrating matrix on skin for enhanced, sustained moisture retention.

Hydrolyzed fragments of glycosaminoglycans (such as chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate) that function as humectants and skin-conditioning agents, similar in concept to hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.

A polysaccharide humectant that hydrates and calms; often compared to hyaluronic acid.

A cationic quaternary-ammonium derivative of hyaluronic acid that binds electrostatically to negatively charged skin proteins, delivering sustained surface hydration.

A humectant that can hold many times its weight in water.

An acetylated form of sodium hyaluronate with enhanced surface-binding properties that provides long-lasting, film-forming hydration.
